(518.64)
Unless otherwise agreed to in writing or expressly provided in the order, provisions for child support are not terminated by the death of a parent obligated to pay child support. When a parent obligated to pay child support dies, the amount of support may be modified, revoked, or commuted to a lump sum payment, to the extent just and appropriate in the circumstances. 

Unless a court order provides otherwise, a child support obligation in a specific amount per child terminates automatically and without any action by the obligor to reduce, modify, or terminate the order upon the emancipation of the child.
